Well, I decided to try it out last week and they turned out pretty good.

trace your shape out on parchment paper

flip it over...and got to town with your melted chocolate...

I used semi sweet chocolate chips and spooned the chocolate in a baggy. I then cut the corner off the baggy

I made different designs..

Here is the finished product:

yum

I'll give you a tip though..make sure the hole is big enough...you don't want it too big..but you don't want it too small either. Some of mine were too thin to even come off the paper.. also..the ones with straight lines didn't turn out for me..they all broke off! Hope that helps!

I found the button kit at the fabric store for $2.50, and the earring posts and backs at the dollar store.

First,
you make the buttons with the fabric of your choice. Then you use your
cutters and cut off the back part of the button (that you would attach
to something). After I made these I found it easier to take the back
part off before you make the buttons. I did it after and ended up
pulling the button apart...

I made different sizes

I also put lace over some of the plain silver buttons, as well as over fabric covered ones.

See the tops ones?! I ended up adding something to those! You will see!

Then, just glue the earring posts on!

And you are done!

You can make ones to match your outfits! Love this.

I made these for Valentine's Day...the kids loved them!

It was a fun Sunday afternoon craft! ( I was watching "P.S I Love You"...on tv while I was making them! :)
